Abstract: A method of making a food product can include forming an emulsion containing a meat and a firming agent that is one or more of plasma, whole egg powder, guar gum, pea fiber, pea protein, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or a modified cereal starch; directing the emulsion through a die to form a meat analog; cooking the meat analog with steam; and cutting the meat analog into thin flakes. The method can include cooling the meat analog before the cutting. The method can include mixing the thin flakes of the meat analog with jelly or gravy to form a blended food composition in which a ratio of the flakes to the jelly or gravy is about 30:70 to about 70:30.

Abstract: A method of making a non-clay based clumping pet litter can include blending a natural material; compressing the blended natural material into pellets; grinding the pellets into granules; screening the granules to obtain a predetermined size range; and applying functional additives to the sized granules. The functional additives can include a clumping agent, mineral oil, and a surfactant. The natural material can be one or more of recycled paper, corrugate, and sawdust. The functional additives can further include a fragrance oil. The clumping agent can be guar gum, and the surfactant can be a polysorbate. In another aspect, a non-clay based clumping pet litter contains granules of compacted natural material enrobed by a coating containing a clumping agent, mineral oil that adheres the clumping agent to the granules, and a surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for providing a health benefit to a companion animal comprising: a maintenance pet food comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrates, where the maintenance pet food can be complete and balanced and has a density ranging from 400 g/l to 600 g/l; and a reduced caloric pet food comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrates, where the reduced caloric pet food can be complete and balanced and has a density ranging from 300 g/l to 450 g/l. Generally, the reduced caloric pet food can have a caloric content of 50% to 90% of the maintenance pet food in about the same volume and the reduced caloric pet food can have a density of 70% to 85% of the maintenance pet food.

Abstract: A reclosable pour-spout packaging, such as a bag, has a top handle and can be manufactured on a form-fill-seal machine. A reclosable structure can reversibly close and open the interior of the packaging. The handle can comprise a cut extending through the packaging. An additional seal area in the packaging can provide support so that a punch and die assembly can punch or cut the handle in the additional seal area. Additionally or alternatively, a laser device, a blade, a knife, or another cutting tool can form the handle in the additional seal area. The additional sealed area can provide stiffness for carrying the packaging and also prevent access into the packaging where the handle is made. The additional seal area can be positioned below the top seal of the packaging so that less material is used for the handle.

Abstract: Compositions and methods reduce symptoms of human allergy to cats. The effectiveness of a molecule which specifically binds to Feline domesticus allergen number 1 (Fel D1) is enhanced by prolonging the time the immunoglobulin stays within the mouth of a cat to whom the anti-Fel D1 molecule is administered in a pet food. The compositions and methods use a powder that is a dried hydrogel encapsulating the anti-Fel D1 molecule, and the hydrogel is based on gelatin, collagen peptides, or gelatin and collagen peptides; and carrageenan. The methods of making the powder provide a high encapsulation efficacy, sustained release of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth, and oral adhesion of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth.

Abstract: A specific type of organ health marker in a companion animal can be improved by adjusting the diet of the animal to increase the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the specific type of organ health marker or adjusting the diet of the animal to decrease the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the specific type of organ health marker. The specific type of organ health marker can be one or more of phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, or gamma-glutamyltransferase.

Abstract: The invention provides devices that are attached to an extruder making the operation thereof more efficient and convenient and allowing for a quick change over of parts used to make various products prepared in the extrusion process. A high pressure relief assembly is attached to the extruder that allows for the rapid release of pressure from the extruder at the end of the process by venting product under pressure from the extruder and the extruder also has attached thereto a quick assembly locking device that allows for the exchange of assemblies, such as a density control assembly and other assembles, without the removal of nuts, bolts, and clamps by attaching the assembly to an arm that can be moved in and out of place in front of the extruder and wherein the device has a locking mechanism that seals and releases the assembly from the extruder.
